Making: mini hexies. Make one, join as you go. It’s a perfect little project for oddments of yarn
Cooking: Leek, Salmon & Spinach crustless quiche
Will use smoked trout or hot smoked salmon & cheddar for even more flavour next time. Asparagus & peas, instead of leek and spinach? Once you’ve got the right sized dish and basic quantity of eggs etc sussed you can make any variation. Muffin sized too, for a lunchbox friendly version. (Ask if you want the recipe)
Sipping: a pink grapefruit margarita, last night. Inspo from Nigella’s At my Table book
Reading: Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell. It’s SO GOOD. Baby Theo sent me this as a thank you for his Patchwork Blanket (and a bottle of Brecon gin. That baby has v good taste!)
Waiting: for my next Craft Gin Club Box. You can get a half price box, it’s such a good offer (but UK only, I’m afraid) plus I’ll get reward points. It can be a one-off, there’s no need to continue the subscription. That’s what I thought I’d do, but they’re so good I carried on. See my blog Facebook page for a few pics of some boxes I’ve received and the referral code
Looking: more and more like autumn is imminent
Listening: to a dove coo
Wishing: for a crushed ice maker
Enjoying: looking back at my summer photos
Appreciating: having my next reads lined up. The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman and The Almond Blossom Appreciation Society by Chris Stewart ebooks are now available for me, on the library Libby app
Eating: nothing yet after sourdough pizza last night
Liking: the thought of wearing my woollies again. Scarves and gloves on chilly walks – oh yes!
Loving: Call My Agent, series 2, on Netflix. Never a dull ep
Buying: local eggs
Managing: dandelions, sort of. You’ve got them all, then at super speed HELLO we’re back!
Watching: combining and bailing in the fields. Looking forward to seeing freshly ploughed fields next
Hoping: to go to London soon, it’s been too long but … y’know…
Wearing: socks again. I asked if anyone had put on socks & woollies yesterday afternoon. Lots of friends said they had too. A few had even put the heating on too. Brrrr! It wasn’t a warm Bank Holiday Monday at all. 15° and overcast all day. Optimistically I’d worn shorts and a tee until 3pm, when I’d turned a pale shade of blue
Noticing: ripe blackberries in hedges now (eating them too)
Following: dancers and ice skaters on Insta
Sorting: makes. Concentrating on crocheting my GS Coast Blanket, the hexies and my chunky Paintbox yarn Star Blanket
Getting: groceries delivered soon, must move
Coveting: a luxury glamping weekend with a friend
Feeling: that it’s time for more jasmine tea
Hearing: talk about SharePoint

Can you believe it’s going to be September tomorrow, already?!
The Little Room of Rachell 
Does crustless quiche stick to the dish? Otherwise sounds good. I love quiche but can’t be bothered to go to the faff of making pastry. So I would love the recipe.
Brush the dish with a little oil
and it comes out wonderfully. I’ll email you Jane
I love Anita Shreve, so will look out for a copy of this. Our libraries have finally reopened (!), I can’t believe how much I have missed my twice-monthly visits. Libraries are so under-valued by so many people.
Your salmon quiche looks delicious. I do believe I could manage a slice or two with ease…. let me now when you begin international deliveries.
Made a note of Maggie O’Farrell and Call My Agent. Thanks :)
Great Jill, I hope you enjoy them all.
Completely agree with you about libraries, although I’ve found the ebooks good over the last 18 months (especially as they were closed for so long) I won’t stop borrowing physical books because I want to support my local branches. If we don’t use them they will disappear.
Surely not in the UK? I can see why we’re heading that way over here (closures/ cutbacks) but I’d be surprised if BoJo let that happen. Watched half of the first episode of CMA earlier, quite fun! Makes a change from crime scenes and morgues….
Totally! Quite a while ago my local had a drive to get the community to use it. Many took out the maximum number of books to make the point that it was valued. Many libraries have had cut-backs. I’ll send you a few links.
PS so glad you liked the first of CMA. All the clients are real by the way….there was something that made me wonder and I googled the first woman.
It was the name of the character – which was the woman’s real name, came up in the credits.
Don’t ever see those – the next episode starts counting down and the credit minimise unless you select to watch. I don’t tend to see them.
